My Training Ships!! (cadet times)

I've never talked about my training ship yet... it's not that interesting really, but just another chapter in my life.






My 1st ship...
M.T. Bunga Melati Dua
Type: Chemical Tanker
Length: 177.15m
Breadth: 30m




My 2nd ship...
M.V. Bunga Bidara
Type: Container Carrier
Length: 176.80m
Breadth: 27.3m







My 3rd ship...
M.V. Bunga Seroja Dua
Type: Container Carrier
Length: 317.80m
Breadth: 43.20m





hmmm...
My first ship..
M.T. Bunga Melati Dua..
(M.T. stands for Motor Tanker)
sounds familiar,right??
jackpot!!
it's the infamous incident that happened the other day..

the ship which was hijacked by the Somalian pirates!!
but God was good to me...
i already disembarked the ship when it was hijacked...
(Thank God!! Amen!!)

This ship is basically the 1st ship that i went onboard..
it really shocked me when the ship that big is actually run by THIRTY plus people!!!
This ship carries Dangerous Chemicals and Palm Oils...
mmmm...
I was under the observation of two different captains..
the first captain was Capt. Anten Bosco Almeida then he was relieved by Capt. Amser Yusuf Daud...
The route of this ship is Far east and Europe..
so...
the places that i've went onboard this ship was----
Malaysia, Singapore, China, Taiwan, South Korea, (then coming back to Malaysia), passing Suez, Rotterdam, U.K., France...(i think that's all)


And....
my second ship is
M.V. Bunga Bidara.
(M.V. stands for Motor Vessel)

there's nothing special about this ship...
except that 80% of the personnel onboard was Phillipinos!!!

the manning was handled by the Parola(means lighthouse*if I'm not mistaken) from the Philippines...
i took this chance to learn a little bit of Tagalog~
and sad to say, when you are trying to learn a new language, it is always the bad words that are being taught first!!
hahaha~
This ship carries containers of various cargoes...
I was under the observation of two different captains here also..
the first captain was Capt. Bayani Acquino Belale then he was relieved by Capt. Mustaffar Bin Maarof...
The route of this ship is Far east and India..
Malaysia, Singapore, China, (back to Malaysia), India(Visakhapatnam and Chennai)


And my third ship...
M.V. Bunga Seroja Dua..
This ship was on anchorage when i went onboard..

the reason for the third ship was just to complete my seatime..
The ship doesn't actually move...
due to the world economy breakdown....
hmm...
onboard this ship,
i was under the observation of Capt Mohamad Mohaidin Bin Abdul Ghani..
The route was supposed to be Malaysia, China, Taiwan, U.S.A, Canada...(om not sure about the route...)
but when i was on this ship, she was only anchoring at Hongkong..

i think that is all about my training ship...
and i really enjoyed when i was on these ships...
looking forward to join onboard again to see different parts of the world!!!
